I think if they put there minds to it they could do it becuse by tturing the trian back at Manchester instead of Stayleybridge then this must save a few units.
158's would be great on the expeses but this is also what 156's are built for plus theve got quite a few 153 units so why not Start using them to strenghen services or do some swops with Arriva.
Plus the ammount of 142's sitting arround in lIme Street allday sometimes this all counts plus before Northern back in the days of Regional Railways the above post is how the services worked exept for the 156's.
They do need to sort it out soon thogh becuase it is only going top get worse and if they don't like the Liverpool area then they should give it to Stagecoach or Arriva.
Last nioght was a classic example of penny pinching by Northern the 16.55 from L/pool Lime Street to Manchester Oxford Rd came in as 142 007 and a 150 unit four coach working it went back out as forur coaches but only 142 007 in use packed to the rafters.
The 150 had passengers on when it came in but was put out of use for some unknown reason.
